So here's the thing....

Christmas makes me happy! But... I am seriously so glad it's over. I can't even describe how stressed out I've been! I should sincerely apologize to everyone who has had to be around me... just be glad I didn't blog in the midst of my stressed-out-ed-ness! Some things we did:

Christmas Eve party with Grandma B (I got the towels I wanted and some cash from my dad! Also, new super super super cute jammies from my mama)

Christmas Eve we slept over at Grandma O's

Christmas morning my awesome mother-in-law made sweet rolls for breakfast (which were to die for) and then we opened presents (I got money, yay!)

The kids were thoroughly spoiled and even a little rotten (Josh kept saying things like, "I'm so mad. I already got this. I'm so sad, I only got one present from so-and-so. We set him straight, but man was it hard to listen to that kind of attitude when he was opening more presents than I've ever even SEEN before!)

We got to stay alllll day at the in-laws' place because my family changed their Christmas party to the 26th. I loved having the whole day to lay around and take naps while my mother-in-law cooked lunch and dinner. :)

My family party with presents was the 26th, where I got Princess Bride (best movie) on BluRay, yay!

I FINALLY got caught up reading Jenn & Andrea's manuscripts, and I am DYING to read more. They are so good; it's seriously intimidating.

Wrote several pages for Dear HW (as I'm temporarily calling my novel). I am so psyched to keep writing now, I finally feel like I have a direction and a good, solid character in mind. :)

Yesterday my mom took all the grandkids (and me & my sisters) to a Chuck-E-Cheese-ish place where they played all day. It was so much fun watching the kids have a blast, and my sister-in-law Danielle came to help me with the kids... (cause, let's face it, I'm still recovering from the second bout of strep throat this month).

I think I may even get my "Christmas" cards out today! :) Hey, it's still December!

Today is my dad's birthday (see next post for a picture of us), and I hate that he's out delivering mail all day in the freezing blizzard... hope his new boots are helping him at least keep his feet warm! :) I love you, Dad!!!

All of us (except my sisters who refuse to let their pictures be taken)

Tonight... New Year's Eve party with our good friends Josh & Courtney (and kids). Can't wait to post a picture or two! See ya'll in 2011! (No, I do not think that will never be too cheesy to say on New Year's Eve.)
